David & The Citizens - Are You In My Blood? Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I never knew you
Sometimes I feel you in my blood
Sometimes I get home sick and weary
Cause I don't know where you are

Sometimes I see the world as a diamond
Sometimes a bucket full of shit
Sometimes I place us both above it
Sometimes I feel we drown in it

And ever since you left the earthly life
I keep my eyes open for signs
to see if you ended up in a good place
And ever since you left the earthly life
I keep your picture on the piano
My dreams are always open for you, so come on over!

Seconds come, and seconds leave
Turning into minutes, days and weeks
The summernight embraces me
I'm still standing, I'm still right here

You know your brother talked about you
He said he knew you wanted this
I only met him once or twice
He seemed nice, but somewhat distorted

And your husband sings about you
In alcoholic melodies
He comes around here now and then
But I've slipped away from him

And ever since you left the earthly life
There's not much to spin the world around
I looked and I found nothing's what it seems
It seems they're building Babylon towers
Any direction that I turn
I look and I see the world it scares me

Was it like this for you? (I'll keep the secret a secret)
Did you scream until your face turned blue? (Nothing will reach you)
After all you think you got away with it
Second by second, minute by minute
Your'e fading, your'e fading, your'e fading
and it's such a shame
(Seconds come, and seconds leave
all turning into minutes, days and weeks
I've looked and I found I can't find nothing)

And ever since you cut the world in two
One half with, and one without you
Without you I don't know what to do
But I hang on, hang on, hang on
